The Portuguese had been urging the fourth official to book Eden Hazard for diving during the game, and the crowd near the Reds dugout howled their abuse at their one-time hero in the technical area.

But Mourinho was unfazed by the treatment.

“They can call me what they want. I am a professional. I defend my club,” he said.

Jose Mourinho sends the Chelsea fans a message - three titles.

“Until the moment they have a manager who wins four Premier Leagues for them, I am the number one. When they have someone who wins four Premier Leagues for them I become number two.

“But until that moment Judas is number one!”

Mourinho also suggested Chelsea could still have been in Europe this season.

They were knocked out of the Champions League in the last 16 against Paris St Germain under stand-in boss Guus Hiddink after Mourinho had seen them through the groups before being sacked in December 2015.
